Yeah, he should have kept it in his pants. He could have done alot of good, but had no self-control.


I don't think that's really the lesson you should take away from this.

More like...Why the fuck do we care about prostitution more than we care about bankers deliberately fucking over American citizens?

packosays...

because things like religion, abortion, immigration... while important to people, aren't important to politicians who use them as "look over here, don't look there" tactics...

they don't want you to focus on how they are blatantly working against the average American citizen's economic interest for their corporate and financial masters

they want you to fight over issues they themselves deem unimportant while feigning concern

they'll use semantics to confuse issues rather than take action

they'll wrap themselves in the flag, all the while ushering in fascism for their own short term social/economic benefit

these people aren't patriots, they are committing treason, and should be hounded through the streets until they can no longer run due to exhaustion; then made public examples of

public servants? the only people they are servicing are themselves

these aren't the departments of this or that I'm talking about... I'm talking directly about the people elected by the citizenry to represent them

they're selling your future, and the future of your children... for the right to suckle at the tit of your new corporate and banking masters

I agree with a lot of what you're saying here but you also make a lot of common mistakes.

first of all, the "important issues" that "matter to people" that powerful people cloak themselves in. Things like abortion, gun control, illegal immigration, terrorism...are wholey fabricated by those same politicians. They're not just using these issues to disctract you, they're creating these issues and convincing you that you care about them to polarize you against fellow Americans. Obama's gonna "tik ur guuuuns" right? Because liberals don't like guns? Bullshit. Of course there are liberals that don't believe in guns, but liberals on the whole split about evenly with the rest of America on the issue. It's a fabricated issue.

Why aren't teapartiers supportingthe OWS movement? Isn't the movement founded on the same frustration that got all those conservatives to load up on the Fox news busses? Oh wait! It's because OWS is against Wallstreet and Teapartiers are against Government! Bullshit. The citizens of America, in the course of serving their own corporate masters have been manipulated once again.

You give politicians too much credit. There is not vast conspiracy to sell out to corporations. Politicians are merely narcisists who are taken by the delusion that their own ideas are important enough to matter to the country. or their narcisists who believe they're own unique personal attributes make them qualified to lead other people. They're not driven a plan to sell out to corporations, they're driven by massive egos. And this is what makes them susecptible to corporations. Big money finds ytheir flaws and draws them out. Politicians succumb to whatever weekness drives them, money, power, sex altruism...big money can give you anything you want.

This is not a problem with liberalism, conservatism, politicians, corporations...this is an issue of human nature. How do you fix that?

If you figure out a way, please let the rest of us know. In the mean time, stop getting sucked into the argument that your corporate masters have duped you into. They know what drives you, they know your weaknesses...and they're playing you against your fellow americans the same way they play politicians against themselves.

Whether or not the Fat Cats wanted the Gollum of Gotham gone, the fact is he and his weenie jeopardized his position on their own. A victimless crime it may have been, but this ninnyhammer was perfectly content putting men and women in jail for the same act.

Liberals suffer the same cognitive dissonance with Filth Clinton. Filth C. globetrots collecting millions for speeches on behalf of "human dignity" when he himself (literally) stripped women working for him in government jobs of theirs. This belief that the left somehow defends the weak against the strong is pure palaver.

its not really that surprising but certainly frustrating if you are drawn close to the maelstrom ... we all know what we should be doing, and we just can't.

things still work out so.. fuck it.

i think i figured it out!


why does quantummushhead sound like Rush limbaugh channeling Dennis miller... almost a talent. So close, yet so far.

Noo doubt clinton and spitzer are not saints. But irretrievebly damaging your nation by removing key people during the crisis because of where they put their 'weenies' is beyond retarded for most countries.
if you think telling off these boys is worth throwing away your economy you're lucky to be in the only country that wouldn't consider you insane.
China appreciates it though so at least someone's doing well..

To be fair, he wasn't removed from office, he resigned willingly after his epic whoring came to light. And it came to light because he was spending so many thousands on hos on it that his bank reported suspicious activity on his wire transfers, which the FBI later investigated. No doubt he had a lot of opponents, but it looks like they just lucked out after he shot himself in the dick.
